Season Finale - St. Croix Caribbean Classic

11/21/07

My dad is a real, honest to goodness lexographer. A strange hobby, really, but one he relishes. He tortures friends and family with Christmas greeting letters that send readers scrambling for their Webster’s. Sadly for us, most his words don’t appear in just a "regular dictionary". Now I love my dad. Most daughters do, and unconditionally so. As a daughter who looks up to her dad, I do my best to wade patiently through the Christmas letter and learn what I can. One of the tid-bits I picked up one year; Schadenfreude: enjoyment obtained from the troubles of others. Now that could well be the most unsportsmanlike concept I’ve ever heard. But sometimes, it gets ya thru the day.
